Common questions about civil litigation
Take a look at the FAQ or reach out anytime. If you’re feeling ready, go ahead and contact us.
-
Criminal cases are brought by the government and can result in jail time or fines. Civil cases are disputes between private parties — individuals or businesses — typically seeking money damages or a court order. You don't face criminal penalties in a civil case, but the financial and legal stakes can still be significant.
-
It varies widely depending on complexity and whether the case goes to trial. Straightforward disputes may resolve in a few months through demand letters or mediation. Contested cases that go through full discovery and trial can take a year or more. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
-
Individuals can represent themselves in civil court, but doing so in a complex dispute is risky. The rules of civil procedure, evidence, and discovery are technical and unforgiving. Having an experienced attorney significantly improves your odds of a favorable outcome.
-
Depending on the type of case, you may be able to recover compensatory damages to cover your actual losses, consequential damages, attorney's fees in some cases, and in egregious situations, exemplary or punitive damages. We'll assess what's realistically recoverable in your specific case.
